Artist Statement

From the beginning of time, human beings have felt the need to organize in order to survive and evolve, creating a series of rituals and routines that over the years have been changing from one culture to another.

Planet Earth has witnessed several customs from different peoples who have lived in perfect harmony with nature, external to new technologies, and, why not, to the passing of time. They have stayed attached to their customs, their clothing, their myths and rituals, which have passed as a heritage from parents to children and which have stayed indifferent to Western life.

Across cultures, we paint our faces, dress up, decorate our skin and celebrate rituals. This is our way to create our personality and social identity. Rituals in traditional cultures are different from the urban ones, but with quite a few things in common.

According to us, modern societies define themselves by their quickness; everything goes too fast and we have forgotten how to enjoy our time and how to understand that competing is not everything. Moreover, technologies disconnect us from our deeper being. We are asleep and have stopped using our most ancestral abilities, the ones we all carry inside and we do not know or ignore them. It is not an isolated fact that when we are in nature we feel more intuitive and awake.

Folklore, mysticism, shamanism and spirituality are constantly mixed in our work with different concepts taken from urban tribes such as graffiti putting a special emphasis on typography art.
